From the Mailroom...

The author of this email contacted me once again, and asked me to remove her email from the blog.

Honestly, I don't really understand why. I post business-related emails all the time, and I never mention anyone's full name.

In her original email (which I published), she simply asked me to post a link to her website... nothing more, nothing less. The email was completely innocuous.

However, despite my confusion with this whole situation, I've removed her email (as per her request).

In place of her email, she asked me to post a brief description of her website's infographic. (She wrote it herself. It's posted below her website's link).

http://www.criminaljusticedegreehub.com/us-homicide-trends/Description of website- The United States history is one of blood, murder, and mayhem. From the slaughter of the Native Americans, to slavery and immigrants, mafia killings, right down to your basic homicidal maniac. Between 1900 and 1910 accompanying an influx of immigrants, murder rates in the U.S. increased sixfold. By the end of prohibition and at the peak of the great depression the murder rate had increased to ten times what it was in 1900. Thankfully, during war time the homicide rates dropped again by the 50’s and seemed to be on a relatively low and even keel. The 60’s began at a slightly higher rate, but by 69 after all of the turmoil and public unrest following assassinations of MLK and Kennedy.

By the 70’s the homicide numbers were still growing. With monsters like Manson, Bundy, and others committing atrocities, the United States was seeing the highest number of homicides since its colonial days. The 80’s started out just as terrible, however the rates dropped slightly as the decade progressed. By the 90’s, the crime rate was still considerably high, yet midway through a sharp dropoff in homicides occurred. Having reached an all time high in 1991 before the sharp decline, the 2000’s notice a 40% drop in murder rates. These were the lowest rates in 35 years. It is the hope of most Americans that this trend continues.

One graph shows the likeliness of being a homicide victim by age group, sex, and ethnicity. Sadly, males under 25 who are African American are most often victims. However, anyone is at risk when it comes to being a victim, but with lower overall homicide rates, we can rest easier.

Our last graph illustrates the surge in homicides in large cities across the United States. We all hope these will not be an oncoming trend that keeps up the pace.

Very interesting. I heard the stats people say that in NYC, when the crime rate was at it's highest in the 1970s, that it really had nowhere else to go except down. Barring the collapse of civilization as we know it.

TomG the reason this country is fucked up is because we have too many fucked up liberals like you.

Gun ownership is up. Murder rates went down. So guess what the stupid fucked up Liberal wants to do? They want to get rid of guns. Inverse Liberal logic.TomG why don't you just go to Alaska and rename another mountain and shut the fuck up.

Crime statistics? Do these statistics clearly enumerate the number, point of acquisition, and type of mind altering drugs taken by people that commit bizarre murders and/or suicides? As far as I'm concerned, if they don't, they should.

I just happened to read about the case yesterday of Matthew Skalitzky, 40. He cut his mom's head off with a sword last Friday. "Joseph Skalitzky, in an interview with police, said his son had recently stopped taking his prescribed medications after reading “negative comments” about the drugs online but had resumed taking them two days before the killing."

I've said it before and I'm going to keep right on saying it every time there's another discussion about the "motive" in these type of cases. It's not Batman, women, guns, helter skelter, or any other of the delusions that come out of the mouths of the people that do these things, it's the effect of the mind altering drugs they have taken, either illicit or "medicinal".

TomG do you remember reading about the Muslims who travelled halfway across the world on 9/11/01 and killed 3000 Americans in one day in about two hours in attacks in three different US states? It was an unprovoked attack. That was Al Queda who committed those attacks. You don't hear about Al Queda anymore do you? That particular Muslim army is basically non existent today. They used to be a trained force of over 100,000 men.

Then in November 2008 America suffered the second Muslim attack when Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States by a bunch of stupid traitorous liberals like you.

Barack Obama, who ended two no win wars, brought the Dow Jones from 7,000 to 18,000, got unemployment to 5%, passed Affordable Care, Gay Marriagae is legalized, but white people hate him because he isn't one of them.

Tom, AFFORDABLE????? Define AFFORDABLE!! That "Affordable Health Care" scam is the biggest joke since one-hour martinizing and the Dewey Decimal System. It's only "affordable" to illegal aliens and bums that don't work so the taxpayers can shell out for their coverage. And with a $5000 deductible, you might as well not have insurance. That starts over every year.

And talk to the people in the oil and gas business who are busy looking for jobs since that went bust!

Finally, your hero just signed away our children's future with that stupid Iran deal. I can't wait to see him gone.

Why has the USA lost every military conflict since WWII? Because when the other side fights back, they leave, On the high end, you have psychopaths who will go into law enforcement. On the low end, you have losers that will hold cans for donations outside the supermarket.

Tom, govt unemployment stats of 5% is a lie. The number of unemployed is 93,000,000 plus and the %age of adults who can work but have no job is at its lowest since the late 1970s. Unemployment has gotten worse over the last 7 years. The govt unemployment rate was changed in how it is calculated to exclude people who stop looking for work or who've been out of work too long. Google labor participation rate. I twas changed to make politicians look better and to hide the actual truth. We have more people on welfare nd food stamps now than 7 years ago too. Not signs of a resurging economy.

Where I live, the economy is booming. There are trucks and excavators on every block. Homes being built by Hispanics, by the way. If they are legal, I don't know. You can't hire an American because they are lazy, stupid and drug addicted. You have no choice but to hire an immigrant, who are disciplined and skilled and want to make money.

"Your Avatar looks like a crack addict. Not that I'm judging, but only want to know who I enter a conversation wif"

I'm still chuckling at that one. I've known a number of crackheads and believe me, I look a lot healthier than any of them while 'cracking'!As it happens, my avatar is a self portrait I took because I'd accidentally ripped my T shirt and I thought it looked kind of interesting and I knew it was never going to be worn again as I was going to chuck it so.....

A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all freakin' night.

Maybe he's only saying it's reasonable.....I've associated with some that have maps and thoughts on placement of certain treasures.....I need shovel for that, not Katie. :)I won't bury you, doll. I just meant ditch you out there and give you some time to walk, meander and think about life. Give you some peace :)PEACE;)

"Charlie Manson is a five foot seven schizophrenic, who if it weren't for the murder of Sharon Tate, would never be known or discussed. And I'm not saying he isn't funny and entertaining. I'm saying he's a dime a dozen criminal-class punk, who had the good fortune of running into some middle class pseudo-revolutionary white girls." -- Tom G
